Miscellaneous: Members of another guild are included with /who guild all

[kus]

Now we have two unrelated guilds getting mixed into our /who all GUILD listing for <Terminus>! This is getting ridiculous. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Is anything being done about this, or is our guild SoL?!

I demand 1 fungi tunic or I will found the guild Terminus Minimus

If you type the guilds name in "" it should only show your own guild such as /who all "terminus" should only show people in terminus and not terminus rising

1 person petition. Find out your guild number.

For example: "/who all guild183", before Rogean wished us a Merry Christmas, would return members of The Mystical Order, which was a pain to search for. Otherwise pick a more unique name for your guild.

Haha, nice. If I had that kind of thing lying around, I'd donate it to get the bug fixed! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I've already tried that, doesn't work. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well, <Terminus> was there first, in fact it was our guild on live from about 2001 or so. I really don't want to give up that guild name just because someone else based their guild name on ours. It's part of the nostalgia for us.

But hey, the /who all guild## thing seems to work (I've tried a dozen or so numbers starting from 1 but have yet to run across our guild's ID. I'll try a petition) It would definitely function as a workround. Thank you for that suggestion, Cecily!!

I'm sure it's in the or close to the thousands by now. Hopefully a guide can give you that information, or you may have to have your guildies brute force the number as an event lol. Good luck [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Can't wait to make a guild named Guild1893

When you do "/who all guild", the client effectively inserts your guild name in place of "guild", so what the server sees is equivalent to if you did "/who all Terminus".

However...

In the EQEmu code, there is a field in the who all packet (Who_All_Struct) for Titanium that is listed as "unknown". The who all packet for Secrets of Faydwer is identical to Titanium's except for having one extra field at the end, but it has the field that is "unknown" for Titanium listed as "guildid".

Some quick tests suggest that this field does get filled in with your actual guild id when you do "/who all guild" from the Titanium client. When you do a different who all, it gets filled with 0xffffffff, like other fields in that packet when they aren't being used (like level range restrictions on the search).

So... it should be possible to check against the actual guild id rather than the guild name, when that field is not 0xffffffff. That would fix this issue. The function that handles all of this in EQEmu's code is a bit of a clusterfuck, but it shouldn't be too hard for someone to fit in the extra logic (and p99's code might be cleaned up, since the /who all guild### sounds custom). It's ClientList::SendWhoAll() in world/clientlist.cpp.
